Can anyone ID the mount on this bayonet/M42 adapter?

It's a 3-claw bayonet with a little clip thing on the side. I know I've seen it
before but I can't remember what it is.

It's not Nikon, Pentax, Olympus, Minolta, and I'm pretty sure it's not Yashica.

Anyone know what it is?

I'm familiar with that page. This mount is not listed there.

Pentax M42->PK adapter (no flange) screwed on an M42 T-mount

^ Well, you're partially correct. It is a T-mount (I misidentified it as M42)
but it's just one T-mount for a bayonet mount. I still don't know what
camera it fits.

I'll bet you its in two parts. The bayonet part will screw off. I have a bunch of those Pentax adapters. Thats a dead ringer for one.

I agree, it's PK. That clip thingy is for unmounting the PK adapter from the PK mount, and is needed because precisely, the M42-PK adapter has to be flush with the mount. Perhaps it's stuck on there because that's a T-mount with slightly different pitch and was forced on?
